Carolyn Hill spoke on a Community Public Radio call-in show, WDIY 88.1 FM, in Allentown/Bethlehem on Sunday, February 24th about her tremendous struggle to regain custody of her two young nieces after the Philadelphia Department of Human Services wrongfully removed the children from her home because she does not have her GED. She has had an on-going battle with a system that is unjust, racist and seems bent on destroying low-income families.
Celyne Camen, of Every Mother is a Working Mother Network, joined her to discuss the wide-ranging implications of this case and how listeners can support Carolyn and the thousands of other woman in similar predicament. The pair also announced plans for Global Women’s Strike’s International Women’s Day event on Friday March 8th, Surviving Globally, Surviving in the US from 5-8pm at Tabernacle United Church in West Philadelphia.
The interview was aired on Basabi Basu’s radio show, Anjali – Music of India.
